Guide to Important Threads & Sites

This thread is a guide to all the important threads and sites relating to modding the following games: TR Legend, TR Anniversary, TR Underworld & TR Angel of Darkness.

Modding Basics:
If you are new to modding, and want to learn how to get started in either creating mods for these games, or running other people's mods, you'll need to download a program called TexMod (you can also try Tomb Ripper, but TexMod is recommended and works for all these games). The following page contains download links for TexMod & Tomb Ripper, as well as tutorials on how to use them. Though the page is about the TRL, the same applies to TRA & TRU modding.

Main Modding threads:
These are the main modding threads for these four games. If you want to post your own mods, or ask about specific mods for any of these games, please post in the thread for that particular game instead of starting a new thread. General inquiries about modding can also be posted in any of these threads (keep in mind that AoD modding is rather different from the other three games).

XNALara is about more than just modding outfits, of course. By now (September 2010) it has grown into such a phenomenon, it has its own subforum here with a variety of XNALara-related threads. The original XNALara thread can be found here.

Modding Showcases:
Have you created a mod that you are particularly proud of? Do you like someone else's mod and want to show off your screenshots/video of it? Then you can post in the showcase threads. Please read the first post of each thread carefully before posting! And remember, these threads are for images only, not comments.

Tutorials:
Are you new to modding? Or perhaps you want to find out how to create a particular effect? Or maybe you want to share a new method of modding or create a tutorial for others. Take a look at this thread:

Additional Resources:
A number of fans have made various programs for that help players enjoy these game even more - for example, the SCUs (Startup Configuration Utility) and Fly Cheats. These can enable you to do a variety of things, including loading any level or any outfit (TRL & TRA) to enable a fly cheat (AoD) and all weapons, including twin pistols in AoD.
